Kihei Overview
Maui Police Department Kihei Area
The Maui Police Department serves the Kihei area from the Wailuku HQ at 55 Mahalani Street. The main MPD line is (808) 244-6400. The Records Section takes calls at (808) 244-6355. MPD keeps a patrol presence in Kihei to cover the South Shore. The town runs along a long beach strip. Tourists and residents share the same roads. Calls for service tend to cluster near the beach parks, the main shopping blocks, and the resorts up the coast. Community policing programs add a local touch.
Each arrest is logged in the MPD system. That record feeds the booking file that moves with the arrestee to MCCC. Kihei arrests appear in the full MPD daily log. The department posts a media log online. Recent bookings show name, age, charges, and general site of arrest. Older arrest files require a Records Section request. Staff answer in person, by phone, and by mail.
For MPD info, see mauicounty.gov/police. Call the Records Section to confirm how a Kihei arrest was logged or to pull an older file.
Note: The MPD does not run a separate Kihei station with its own log. All records flow through the Wailuku HQ.
